Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients: melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Slowly add milk while whisking.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for proper cooking.
  5. Grease cauldron-shaped molds, fill 3/4 with batter, and place on a baking tray.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes and check doneness with a toothpick.
  7. Allow cakes to cool in molds for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Frost cooled cakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkle edible glitter on top for decoration.

Notes

Sift dry ingredients for best results. Don't overmix; a slightly lumpy batter keeps cakes moist. Store in an airtight container up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
